Winged Lion

Ok, from advice given on other forums, here is the updated lion, this time the final:

Looks good! I missed the pre-update picture... what were the changes you made?

The wings look strange to me--for some reason I can't picture them actually moving in any believable fashion. It looks like their structure hasn't been fully thought out.

you might find this image helpful (http://www.catskill.net/evolution/flight/wings.html)

I know you said this is the final, but I think some more work on the wings would really make it stand out.

Did you make the ears separate to save on geometry?

Thanks for that critique, but there is a joint modeled on the wing that allows it to deform like a bird's wing. Helpful picture though, and I did make some adjustments from it. Anyways, the model is now uvmapped:
